In an inpatient detoxification setting in Rawlings patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
